I Live Like a Bat

I have had trouble sleeping lately. I think it is a form a "jet-lag" brought on because I spend most of my time underground. I travel to and from work on the subway, and I work indoors all day. Everything I need is down there, so I just stay there until time to leave. By the time I head home it is dark. So I only see a little sunlight every morning on my walk to the subway.

I had to get out and see some sun, so I left early and took some photos in Central Park while the sun was setting. I walked all the way down to 59th street from 93rd, and I got an opportunity to make some nice shots at dusk. Dusk is a special time to shoot in a city because the sky is still light enough to illuminate the scenery, but now there are lots of lights adding their own glow.
For all the Apple fans reading this, here is the Apple store on 59th street.That is one of the horse and buggies of Central Park in the foreground.Here is one of the cabbies in a top hat.I love the arches.I stood right in the middle of the street to take this.
I was crossing the street and thought it would be kind of cool to take a picture from the middle of the road. How many people have pictures like that? Anyway, I almost got his by a car. I almost became a casualty of art.
